PREFACE 



In presenting this work to the public, we desire to say a few 
words defining its mission. It is a known fact that strangers 
visiting our city naturally feel a desire to witness and have 
explained to them the magnificent works of art and Govern- 
ment buildings with which our city abounds. Heretofore the 
travelling public have been compelled to place themselves in 
the hands of io-norant hack-drivers and trust to their rude bal- 
derdash for explanations and reminiscences concerning the Dis- 
trict of Columbia. The Gazetteer will be found a safer and 
more intelligent guide, and will more satisfactorily explain the 
advantages and beauties of Washington than any other medium. 
Hence the traveller can learn what inducements we have to 
ofi"er him to make our city his home. Aside from its histori- 
cal and pictorial information, the Gazetteer will be found to 
contain the names and address of all tlie principal business and 
professional men in the District, a feature which commends 
itself to our citizens and which makes it desirable in every 
counting-room and office. In addition to the above, will be found 
the laws passed by our legislature regarding license and taxes, 
hacks, vehicles, &c., and the act of Congress creating the new 
territorial government for the District of Columbia. We feel 
confident that our aim is good, and bravely push our effbrt 
before the people as candidates for public favor.

DISTRKT OF COLUMBIA. 

This District, contuinin<^ an area of sixty s({uare miles, was ceded 
to tlie United States by an act of the General Assembly of Maryland, 
December 23, 1788. The District of Colnmbia was created by Con- 
gress July 16, 1790, the corner-stone of whicli was laid A)iril 15, 1*791. 
In December^ 1800, the seat of Government was transfei'red to tin's 
District, hence the establishment of the National Capital dates from 
that date. The District of Columbia was, })rior to tlie act of Conf:;-ress 
approved February 21, 1871, governed solely by Congress, and the 
people up to that t'me had no political status whatever. Now, how- 
ever, the case is entirely changed ; the laws of the government are made 
by the representatives of the people, and the elective franchise is 
enjoyed here as in other sections of the country. The' papulation of 
the District, according to the last census, amounts to 131,097 inhabi- 
tants. The climate of the District, though changeable, is as i'ree 
from malaria as any other section of the continent. Epidemical 
diseases are rare, and the general health and appearance of the peo[)le 
will compare favorably with those of any other section of America, 
The soil is light, but, with very little cultivation, proves productive, 
evidences of which can be seen every day in the immense quantities 
of fruit and vegetables that are brought to the various markets in the 
different cities of the District, 

Under the new form of government bestowed upon the people of 
this territory, by which they are permitted to live under laws enacted 
by themselves, great improvements are being pushed forward, and the 
])t'ople are beginning to manifest more interest in the welfare and pro- 
gress of the District than ever before. The time is not far dist-ant 
when the District of Columbia will exert a potent influence in the 
political affairs of the country, and her sons will have still greater 
cause to be proud of the ''garden spot of America." The present 
government of the District of Columbia is similar to that enjoyed by 
other Territories belonging to the United States. The executive power 
is vested in a Governor, who is appointed by the President of the United 
States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He Jiolds his 
office, for four years. The legislative power is vested in a Legislative 
Assembly, which consists of a Council and House of Delegates. 
The members of the Council are appointed by the President, while 
the members of the House of Delegates are elected by the people. 
We annex herewith the act approved February 21, 1871, to provide a 
government for the District of Columbia. 



TERRITORIAL BILL FOR THE DISTRICT OP COLUMBIA. 

Be it enacted hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That all that part of the ter- 
ritory of the United States included within the limits of the District 
of Columbia be, and the same is hereby, created into a government 



32 

by the name of tlie District of Columbia, by which name it is hereby 
constituted a body corporate for municipal purposes, and may contract 
and be contracted with, sue and be sued^ plead and be impleaded, 
have a seal, and exercise all other powers of a municipal corporation 
not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States 
and the provisions of this act. 

Sec. 2. A^id he it further enacted, That the executive power and 
authority in and over said District of Columbia shall be vested in a 
governor, who shall be appointed by the President, by and with the 
advice and consent of the Senate, and who shall hold his office for 
four years, and until his successor shall be appointed and qualified. 
The Grovernor shall be a citizen of and shall have resided within 
said District twelve months before his appointment, and have the 
qualifications of an elector. He may grant pardons and respites 
for offences against the laws of said District enacted by the Legislative 
Assembly thereof; he shall commission all officers who shall be 
elected or appointed to office under the laws of the said District 
enacted as aforesaid, and shall take care that the laws be fiiithfuUy 
executed. 

Sec. 3. And he it further enacted, That every bill which shall have 
passed the Council and House of Delegates shall, before it becomes a 
law, be presented to the Governor of the District of Columbia ; if he 
approve, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it, with his ob- 
jectionsj to the House in which it shall have originated, who shall en- 
ter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider 
it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of all the members ap- 
pointed or elected to the House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be 
sent, togetlier with the objections, to the other House^ by which it shall 
likewise be reconsidered, and, if approved by two-thirds of all the 
members appointed or elected to that House, it shall become a law. 
But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by 
yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the 
bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively. If any 
bill shall not be returned by the Governor within ten days (Sundays 
excepted) after it shall have been preseiited to him, the same shall be 
a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Legislative As- 
sembly by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall 
not be a law. 

Sec. 4.. And he it further enacted, That there shall be appointed by 
the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a 
secretary of said District, who shall reside therein and possess the 
qualification of an elector, and shall hold his office for four years, 
and until his successor shall be appointed and qualified ; he shall 
record and preserve all laws and proceedings of the Legislative Assem- 
bly hereinaiter constituted, and all the acts and proceedings of the 
Governor in his executive department ; he shall transmit one copy of 
the laws and journals of the Legislative Assembly within thirty days 
after the end of each session, and one copy of the executive proceed- 
ings and official correspondence semi-annually, on the first days of 
January and July in each year, to the President of the United 
States, and four copies of the laws to the President of the Senate and 
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, for the use of Con- 



33 

gress ; and in ca.sc of the death, removal, resignation, disability, or 
absence, of the Governor from the District, the Secretary shall be, and 
he is hereby, authorized and required to execute and perform all the 
powers and duties of the Governor during such vacancy, disability, or 
absence, or until another Governor shall be duly appointed and quali- 
fied to fill such vacancy. And in case the offices of Governor and 
Secretary shall both become vacant, the })ower8, duties, and emolu- 
ments of the office of Governor shall devolve upon the presiding officer 
of the Council, and in case that office shall also be vacant_, upon the 
presiding officer of the House of Delegates, until the office shall be 
filled by a new appointment. 

Sec. 5. Aiid heit further enacted, That legislative power and author- 
ity in said District shall be vested in a Legislative Assembly, as here- 
inafter provided. The Assembly shall consist of a Council and House 
of Delegates. The Council shall consist of eleven members, of whom 
two shall be residents of the city of Georgetown, and two residents of 
the county outside of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, who 
shall be appointed by tlie President, by and with the advice and con- 
sent of the Senate, wlio shall have the qualification of voters as here- 
inafter prescribed, five of whom shall be first appointed for the term of 
one year, and six for the period of two j^ears, provided that all subse- 
quent appointments shall be for the term of two years. Tlie House of 
Delegates shall consist of twenty-two members, possessing the same 
qualifications as prescribed for the members of the Council, whose 
term of service shall continue one year. An apportionment shall be 
made, as nearly equal as practicable, into eleven districts, for the ap- 
pointment of the Council, and into twenty-two districts for the election 
of delegates, giving to each section of the District representation in 
the ratio of its population as nearly as may be. And the members of 
the Council and of the House of Delegates shall reside in and be inhab- 
itants of the districts from which they are appointed or elected, respec- 
tively. For the purposes of the first election to be held under this 
act, the Governor and judges of the Supreme Court of the District of 
Columbia shall designate the districts for members of the House of 
Delegates, appoint a Board of Registration, and persons to superintend 
the election and returns thereof, prescribe the time, places, and man- 
ner of conducting such election, and make all needful rules and regu- 
lations for carrring into efi"ect the provisions of this act not otherwise 
herein provided for : Provided, That the first election shall be held 
within sixty days from the passage of this act. In the first and all 
subsequent elections the persons having the highest number of legal 
votes for the House of Delegates, respectively, shall be declared by 
the Governor duly elected members of said House. In case two or 
more persons voted for shall have an equal number of votes for the 
same office, or if a vacancy shall occur in the House of Delegates, the 
Governor shall order a new election. And the persons thus appointed 
and elected to the Legislative Assembly shall meet at such time and 
at such place within the District as the Governor shall appoint ; but 
thereafter the time, place, and manner of holding and conducting all 
elections by the people^ and the formation of the districts for mem- 
bers of the Council and House of Delegates, shall be prescribed by 
law, as well as the day of the commencement of the regular sessions 



34 

of tlie Legislative Assembly : Provided, Tliat no session in any one 
year shall exceed the term of sixty days, except the first session, which 
may continue one hundred days. 

Sec. G. And be it further enacted, That the Legislative Assembly 
shall have power to divide that portion of the District not included in 
the corporate limits of Washington or Georgetown into townships, not 
exceeding three, and create township officers, and prescribe the duties 
thereof; but all township officers shall be elected by the people of the 
townships respectively. 

Sec. 7. And he it further enacted, That all male citizens of the United 
States, above the age of twenty-one years, who shall have been actual 
residents of said District for three months prior to the passage of this 
act, exce})t such as are non compos mentis, and persons convicted of in- 
famous crimes, shall be entitled to vote at said election, in tlie elec- 
tion district or precinct in which he shall then reside, and shall have 
so resided for thirty days immediately preceding said election, and 
shall be eligible to any office within the said District, and for all sub- 
sequent elections twelve months' prior residence shall be required to 
constitute a voter ; but the Legislative Assembly shall have no right 
to abridge or limit the right of suffrage. 

Sec. 8. And he it farther enacted, That no person who has been or 
hereafter shall be convicted of bribery, perjury, or other infamous 
crime, nor any person who has been or may be a collector or holder of 
public moneys who shall not have accounted for and paid over, upon 
final judgment, duly recovered according to law, all such moneys due 
from him, sluiU be eligible to the Legislative Assembly, or to any 
office of profit or trust in said District. 

Sec. 9. And he it further enacted, That members of the Legislative 
Assembly, before they enter upon their official duties, shall take and 
subscribe the following oath or affirmation : " I do solemnly swear (or 
affirm) that I will su})port the Constitution of the United States, and 
will faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about 
to enter ; and tluit I have not knowingly or intentionally paid or con- 
tributed anything, or made any promise in the nature of a bribe, to 
directly or indirectly influence any vote at the election at which I was 
chosen to fill the said office, and have not accepted, nor will I accept, 
or receive, directly or indirectly, any money or other valualde thing 
for any vote or influence that I may give or withhold on any bill, 
resolution, or appropriation, or for any other official act." Any mem- 
ber who shall refuse to take the oatli herein prescribed shall forfeit 
his office, and every person who shall be convicted of having sworn 
falsely to or of violating his said oatli shall forfeit his office, and be 
disqualified thereafter from holding any office of profit or trust in said 
District, and shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and upon conviction 
shall be punished accordingly. 

Sec. 10. And he it further enacted. That a majority of the Legisla- 
tive Assembly appointed or elected to each House shall constitute a 
quorum. The House of Delegates shall be the judge of the election 
returns and qualifications of its members. Each House shall deter- 
mine the rules of its proceedings, and shall choose its own officers. 
The Governor shall call the Council to order at the opening of each 
new Assembly ; and the Secretary of the District shall call the 



35 

House of Delegates to order at the opening of each new Legisla- 
tive Assembly, and shall preside over it until a temporary pre- 
siding officer shall have been chosen and shall have taken his seat. 
No member shall be expelled by either House except by a vote of 
two-thirds of all the members appointed or elected to that House. 
Each House may punish by imprisonment any person not a member 
who shall be guilty of disrespect to the House by disorderly or con- 
temptuous behavior in its presence ; but no such imprisonment shall 
extend beyond twenty-four hours at one time. Neither House shall, 
without tlie consent of the other, adjourn for more than two days, or 
to any other place than that in which such House shall be sitting. 
At the request of any member the yeas and nays shall be taken upon 
any question, and entered upon the journal. 

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted, That bills -may originate in 
either House, but may be altered, amended, or rejected by the other ; 
and on the final passage of all bills the vote shall be by yeas and nays 
upon each bill separately, and sliall be entered upon the journal, and 
no bill shall become a law without the concurrence of a majorit}^ of 
the members elected to each House. 

Sec. 12. And he it further enacted, That every bill shall be read at 
large on three different days in each House. No act shall embrace 
more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in its title ; but if 
any subject shall be embraced in an act which shall not be expressed 
in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall 
not be so expressed in the title ; and no act of the Legislative Assem- 
bly shall take effect until thirty days after its passage, unless, in case 
of emergency, (which emergency shall be expressed in the preamble 
or body of the act,) the Legislative Assembly shall by a vote of two-

WASHINGTON CITY. 

The city of Washington, the capital of the United States, is situated 
on the Potomac river, at the mouth of the Anacostia or Eastern Branch. 

The site was chosen by General George Washington, the first Pres- 
ident of the nation. The design of the city Avas made by a French- 
man, L'Enfant, who originally intended that the Capitol should occupy 
the centre of the city ; but from various causes it has grown principally 
westward. Pennsylvania avenue, the great thoroughfare of the city, ex- 
tends from the Eastern Branch to Georgetown, and is justly considered 
one of the finest streets in the world. From the Capitol to the Treas- 
ury building this magnificent boulevard is paved with the Nicholson 
wood pavement, and ornamented on each side with beautiful shade 
trees. The largest and finest mercantile houses of the city are on this 
avenue. 

During the " gay season " Pennsylvania avenue presents a most 
lively appearance. Every evening, just before the last rays of the 
setting sun sets below the horizon, may be seen the beauty and fashion 
of the American capital here parading in luxurious equipages. 

Unlike all other American cities, Washington is not a commercial 
city. To a stranger she is more like Paris. Being the political capi- 
tal of one of the largest and most powerful nations upon earth, her 
streets are naturally thronged with strangers from all parts of the 
civilized world. The Government buildings, works of art, and 
national souvenirs, not only make her beautiful, but more than ordi- 
narily attractive to sight-seers. In attempting to give a sketch of the 
attractions of the capital of the nation, we naturally begin with tlie 
'j-i'eat centre of atti-action. 



58 

TPIE CAPITOL. 

Not the temple of Solomon at Jerusalem, nor the temple of Diana 
at Ephesus, in the olden time^ nor St. Peter's at Rome, nor St. Paul's 
at London, in modern times, afford the beholder (either in ideal con- 
ception or in reality) so grand an idea of harmonious yet magnificent 
proportions as the Capitol of the United States, with its cloud-piercin,^- 
dome and extended wings. The first exclamation of the visitor as he 
approaches the American Temple is that of astonishment at its pro- 
poi'tions, the symmetrical lift of its mighty Dome, the harmonious 
stretch of its extensions. The corner-stone of this magnificent edifice 
was laid hy General George Washington on the 18th day of Septem- 
ber, 1793. A critical inspection of the Capitol and its departments is 
not to be accomplished in an hour, nor in a day, while a minute 
description of its main features would fill a volume. The length of 
the entire structure is 751 feet, (nearly a quarter of a mile,) and the 
pile of marble covers about four acres and one-third of ground ; the 
surrounding reservation grounds embrace thirty acres more, embel- 
lished by fountains, statuary, &c. These are yet to be greatly enlarged 
and adorned. 

A condensed description of the edifice will assist the observer to a 
correct tout-^enscmhle of the whole. The Senate Chamber and Hall of 
the House of Representatives are located in the new wings, the Senate 
on the left and the House on the right, as you ascend the main stair- 
way leading up into the great Rotunda. 

The Dome, which lifts its tremendous frame above the Rotunda, is 
220 feet from floor to apex, and from the base of the Capitol about 400 
feet. The figure of the Statue of Freedom, which crowns the Dome, 
is of bronze, twenty-one feet high, and weighing 14,985 pounds. This 
statue was commenced by Crawford, the artist, and completed by Clark 
Mills. Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, and having super- 
visory charge of the Capitol, suggested to the artist the "helmet cap" 
of eagle feathers and beak that now ornaments the statue. This great 
Dome is modern in its structure, and that there is none other that 
rivals or equals it in the world is the opinion of famed architects in 
this country and in Europe. A smaller dome on each side would, per- 
haps, add grace and harmony as a whole, but their absence leaves noth- 
ing to regret in the contemplation of the edifice as it stands. 

The Senate Chamber and Hall of the House are especially worthy 
the inspection of visitors. Their arrangements are reputed the best 
that the genius of art could suggest, and their adornments quite take 
away the beholder's ideas of republican simplicity. The Senate wing 
is 113 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 36 feet high ; the galleries will seat 
about 1,200 people. The House wing is 139 feet long, 93 feet wide, 
and 36 feet high ; accommodation of the galleries about the same as 
the Senate. 

The Rotunda is 96 feet in diameter, and 220 feet high ; something 
near the elevation of the highest church steeples. 

On the first floor it is divided into eight panels ; in each are paint- 
ings representing, respectively. Embarkation of the Pilgrims for Amer- 
ica, by Weir ; Landing of Columbus, by Vanderlyu ; The Baptism of 
Pocahontas, by Chapman ; Discovery of the Mississippi b}"" De Soto,

by Powell ; Declaration of Independence ; Surrender of General Bur- 
goyne ; Surrender of Corn\vallis'''and tlie British Army at Yorktown, 
by Colonel John Trumbull. 

Between the panels, in basso relievu, are four historical subjects, rep- 
resenting The Preservation of Captain John Smith by Pocahontas ; 
Landing of the Piliijrims on Plymouth Rock ; Penn's Treaty with the 
Indians ; Conflict between Daniel Boone and tlie Indians ; there are 
also specimens of sculpture of the heads ^ of Columbus, La ^ Salle, Sir 
Walter Raleigh, and Cabot, b}^ Causici and Capelleno. On tlie out- 
side of the east door are also statues of Columbus, The Indian Woman, 
and two of colossal size, representing Peace and War, by Persico. 
There is also a group called Civilization. In the Park is Greenough's 
colossal marble statue of Washington, iiis'right hand pointing toward 
heaven, and in the left holding a Roman sword. 

The Capitol by moonlight, when the moon, rising behind the pile, 
falls upon the helmet of the Goddess, and descending bathes the sur- 
face of the marble, is beautiful beyond desci'iption, and recalls Sir 
Walter Scott's lines on Melrose Abbey — 

"If tlimi wfiuldst view fair Melr<i,si" ariglit, 
Go view it by the pale moonlight." 

The Dome, illuminated with its thousand lights, is also a spectacle 
to be witnessed. Tliese illuminations occur on occasions when night 
sessions of Congress are held. 

THE STATUARY ]:00M. 

The room devoted to the exhibition of statesmen and soldiers of the 
nation is a more recent feature of the Capitol ; the Hall is the old 
House of Representatives, whose pillars and walls in times agone re- 
echoed to the eloquence of Webster, Hale, Clay, Calhoun, and that 
great host of statesmen who have since 

"Gone forever, and forever hy." 

The works exhibited here are a copy of Houdon's Washington, the 
original of which stands in the Capitol at Richmond, Virginia ; a life- 
size statue of Alexander Hamilton, another of v..eneral Greene, of the 
Revolution, and the lifelike and much-lauded 'statue of Abraham Lin- 
coln, by Vinnie Ream, recently placed in position here. Other works 
of art by eminent foreign and native artists, on canvas and in marble, 
are distributed about the Capitol edifice, under the archways and on 
the grand stairways leading up into the Senate and House Chambers. 

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY 

Is located in the west front of the Capitol, and is ninety-two i'eet long, 
thirty-four wide, and thirty-six feet high. The room is probably one 
of the finest of the kind on the continent, being beautifully orna- 
mented with rich stucco border, panels, wreaths, &c., and is liglited 
by sky-light from the ceiling. 

During our war ^Yith Great Britain the Capitol was destroyed, but 
subsequently it was rebuilt in greater splendor, and the Library now 
contains 200,000 volumes. 

THE SUPREME COURT ROOM 

Is situated in the Capitol, and is of a semicircular shape. On the 
walls is an emblem of Justice holding her scales, and hIso a fio-ure of 



62 

Fame. It is here that the Supreme Court of the United States holds 
its sessions. This body is one of tlie three co-ordinate branches of the 
United States Government. 

The scene from the Dome of the Capitol, looking westward toward 
the Treasury, is one of unparalleled magnificence and grandeur. On 
the left are the Botanical Gardens, adorned with flowers and shruh- 
bery from every clime, in the centre of which stands the great con- 
servatory. Further on, south of the avenue, stands the 

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE. 

This noble institution owes its existence to James Smitlis(»n, Esi^., an 
English gentleman, who endowed it. Its object, to use the language 
of the beneficiary, is "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge 
among men." It is built of red sandstone, somewliat after the Nor- 
man style of architecture. The grounds surrounding it are elaborately 
laid out and embellished with many rare and exotic plants The 
length of tlie building is 450 feet ; its breadth 140 feet. It has nine 
towers, the highest of which attains an elevation of 150 feet. The 
Museum connected with this institution contains many rare curios- 
ities. 

The next object of inierest that meets the eye is the 

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. 

The United States Department of Agriculture was establisheil by 
act of Congress, approved May 15, 1862. In the law creating it its 
general design and duties are defined to be '' to acquire and to diffuse 
among the peoi)le of the United States useful information on subjects 
connected with agriculture in the most general and comprehensive 
sense of that word, and to procure, propagate, and distribute among 
tlie peojde new and valuable seeds and plants." The law provides 
for the appointment of a "Commissioner of Agriculture," to "be 
the chief executive officer of the Department of Agriculture," and in 
prescribing his duties further indicates the object of the Department. 
It says he is " to acquire and preserve in his Department all informa- 
tion concerning agriculture which he can obtain by means of books 
and correspondence, and by practical and scientific experiments, (accu- 
rate records of which experiments shall be kept in his office,) by the 
collection of statistics, and by any other appropriate means within his 
power ; to collect, as he may be able, new and valuable seeds and 
plants ; to test by cultivation the value of such of them as may require 
such tests ; to propagate such as may be worthy of propagation and 
to distribute them among agriculturists." 

The census establishes tlie fact that one-half the population of the 
United Sates is either directly engaged in agricultural pursuits or 
wholly dependent upon them for support, while no census is required 
to prove that the whole country is mainly indebted for its prosperity 
to the quiet labors of the independent farmer. Our commerce and 
manufactures are of vast importance, but they are of secondary inter- 
est when compared with our stake in agriculture. Unlike some of the 
nations of Europe that do not produce food enough to su[)ply the neces- 
sary wants of their people, poorly as some of them are always fed, the 
United States annually produces nmre food than h'er people can con- 
sume or waste. We are large exporters of meats and breadstuffs.and 




=^ik2SLi;iiiliiii.i:iiiii:iiii;iii;iiiiiii!!:.iiii:iiiii:i«^ 



64 

of other agricultural productions. We are distinctly and pre-eminently 
a nation of farmers, and sucli we shall undoubtedly remain. The 
temperate and stimulating climate of our country, the variety of soil 
and range of latitude and elevation, the rural tastes of our people, 
and the vast domain yet open to homestead occupancy, combine to 
assure a continuance of the interest heretofore manifested in agricul- 
tural pursuits. It is somewhat strange, therefore, in view of all these 
facts, that so much attention has been bestowed from the foundation 
of the Government upon the encouragement of commerce and manu- 
factures and so little upon the encouragement and improvement of ag- 
riculture ; stranger still, that any professedly patriotic citizen should 
ever have given utterance to the sentiment that "agriculture can take 
care of itself." Not only has the attention of politicians and states- 
men been diverted from this chief of all the industries, but farmers 
themselves have been slow to press their claims to more favorable re- 
cognition. 

The first recognition which the agricultural interest of the country 
received from Congress, in the way of appropriation of public money, 
was under date of March 3, 1839, when it was enacted, by requestof 
Hon. H. L. Ellsworth, Commissioner of Patents, " that a sum of money 
not exceeding one thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby, ap- 
propriated out of the patent fund, to be expended by the Commissioner 
of Patents in the collection of agricultural statistics, and for other 
agricultural purposes." Similar appropriations were made in succeed- 
ing years, after 1842, the amount being gradually increased to |5,000 
for the year 1853, and paid from the Patent Office fund ; that office, 
however, being rehubursed in that year, by act of Congress, in the 
sum of $39,000, tlie full amount of its outlay on account of agricul- 
ture. In 1854 Congress appropriated $10,000 for agriculture, and in 
1862, the year in which the division of the Patent Office baving charge 
of agricultural matters was erected into a national department^ the 
appropriations had been increased to $60,000. The Commissioner of 
Patents annually reported to Congress the results of efforts in behalf 
of agriculture^ the same being published under the title of " Patent 
Office Reports — Agriculture," and the first, in 1839, containing fifty- 
four pages. From the establishment of the Government up to and in- 
cluding the year 1862, the direct public expenditure for the encourage- 
ment of agricultural industry amounted to only $554,000 ; less than 
the actual benefit conferred upon the country by a single importation 
and distribution of grain by the Commissioner at a cost not exceeding 
that of the legislative act which instituted the Department. The total 
expenditures in behalf of agricultural interests have been exceedingly 
small — a pittance in comparison with the university and magnitude 
of interests, and with the amounts annually appropriated to foster and 
build up others, of which the claims are no greater, though more per- 
sistently pressed. And with the small appropriations allowed, the 
Commissioner has, with a tact and frugality not always imitated, kept 
the expenditures within the limits of the current appropriations, while 
carrying out to a highly satisfactory extent the designs of such a De- 
partment. The Department of Agriculture continued to occupy rooms in 
the Patent Office building until the completion of the edifice designed 
for its permanent occupation, in August, 1868. The Department 



65 

building is located upon a resorvatiou of Government land, containing; 
thirty-five acres, between the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution and 
those containing the incomplete Washington Monument, and commands 
a very fine view of all these grounds, a large portion of the city, and 
of the adjacent country. It is 170 feet long by 61 feet deep, and con- 
sists of a finished basement, three full stories, and Mansard roof. It 
is designed in the renaissance style of architecture, and the front (north) 
presents a centre building with main entrance, flanked by projecting 
wings. The material is pressed brick, with brown-stone'base, belts, 
trimmings, and cornices. There are on the first floor above the base- 
ment fourteen rooms, besides a fine octagonal vestibule and ample cor- 
ridor. The library, containing over 7,000 volumes, many of which 
are rare and valuable, is in the west wing, and is 20 by 61 feet in size. 
There are fourteen rooms upon the first floor, ten of which are 20 feet 
square, and all are 16 feet in height. The rooms of the Commissioner 
and Chief Clerk are finished by wainscoting, in American "wood- 
hanging," in elegant style. The others are finished by paneling in 
encaustic paint, and with frescoed ceilings. The office and laboratory of 
the chpmist and his assistants occupy the east end first floor, with a large 
room in the basement. The former contains a small special library, 
and fine geological and mineralogical cabinets, which are constantly 
being enlarged by contributions. In these rooms analyses of earth 
paints, fullers' earth, the various kinds of clay and limestones, cal- 
careous minerals, roofing slates, varieties of pyrites, bituminous shales, 
blendes, iron, copper, silver, and gold ores, marls, wines, mineral 
waters, &c., have been and are carried on. The employment of the 
laboratory is directed to subjects of importance to scientific agriculture, 
mainly, and is intended to be entirely so. The main portion of the 
second story is occupied by the Museum of Agriculture, and is ap- 
proached by a double flight of fire-proof stairs from the centre op[)0- 
site the vestibule, lighted by a grand window of stained glass. This 
hall, or Museum, is 102 feet long, 52 feet wide, and 27 feet high, and 
is lighted through ten windows, each 7 by 16 feet. It has a bold- 
coved stucco cornice, with brackets sculptured in colossal Indian busts, 
and is adorned by festoons of flowers and fruits, and medallion shields 
into which are worked the escutcheons of the United States, surrounded 
by those of the thirty-seven States of the Union in chronological suc- 
cession. The Museum is designed to be one of reference and strict 
utility, from which — and the books and notes of reference connected 
with it, and from the attendants — such information as is desired by the 
visitor may be obtained concerning the history, production, health, 
&c., of all kinds of agricultural products, especially those suited to 
our own country. It contains, lor instance, about 1,500 accurately 
moulded and colored specimens of fruits : 500 specimens of native and 
1,200 of foreign grain ; over 200 specimens of corn in the ear ; about 
100 of sugar and 50 of molasses, from various substances ; 40 of In- 
dian food ; cases of specimens of economic substances, as oils, gums, 
dyes ; cases of American birds and fowls, and such as may be accli- 
rnatized here ; the finest collection of silk cocoons in the country ; va- 
rious fibre specimens, as wool, cotton, hemp, flax, flax cotton, ramie, 
asclepias, jute, &c., and miscellaneous tropical fibres; specimens of 
woods, arranged according to botanical classification ; forage plants ; 



66 



and, not least in interest, between 7,000 and 8,000 accurately drawn 
and colored representations of injurious insects, with reference on each 
plate to book and page where their natural history is to be found— the 
etchin- upon copper; printing, coloring, labelling, and research being 
the work of the accomplished entomologist, done in the mornings and 
evenings of a few years. At the western terminus of the Museum are 
the rooms of the entomologist, and one of extra ^ize devoted to the use 
of the botanist, containing a valuable herbarium o about 1,500 spe- 
cies At the eastern terminus are the rooms of the statistician and 
some of his assistants. In them are prepared the annual and monthly 
reports of the Department, a work of great labor andcare, involving 
regular correspondence and the collection of statistics each month 
from every county in the Union, and the proper digestion and presen- 
tation of the same to the public. The third story of the building con- 
tains rooms where seeds are assorted and put up for distribution, and 
is in easy communication with the basement by means of a large e e- 
vator. The basement rooms ontain the steam-heatmg apparatus, the 
folding and book rooms, coal and wood cellars, closets, &c 

The grounds containing the Department buildings are beautifully 
undulating. A large portion has been devoted to as complete an 
arboretum as can be found in any country ; and in the main front ol 
the building a flower garden of geometrical design. The arboretum 
is bein- made as perfect and complete in species and varieties as the 
climate will admit, and with a strictly botanical arrangement is coin- 
bined the idea of landscape effect. Walks and roads are being made 
through the grounds, and their ultimate connection witn those o/ the 
contiguous grounds has been kept in view, admitting of a uniform 
style of imp\-ovement with them, and the highest style of landscape 
gardetiing. A propagating garden near the Capitol is the property 
of the Dqmrtmeni: also, and, with a portion of the grounds near the 
principal building, furnishes the means of testing and cultivating 
plants, &c. A conservatory, located west of and on a line with the 
Department building, having a front of 320 feet, and a rear extension 
from the centre of 150 feet, is now in process of construction, and 
besides its evident usefulness fur the purposes of testing and plant 
propagation, forms a beautiful feature of the scene m the Department 
grounds. Two small summer-houses, in a style in keeping with the 
Irchitecture of the building, will be placed at each of the front corners 
of the flower garden in due time. tt t at f. .f 

The first Commissioner of Agriculture, Hon Isaac ^ewton_of 
Pennsylvania, was appointed by President Lincoln, "i June, 1862 
and retained his position until his death, in the au umn of 1867. His 
successor, Gen. Horace Capron, was confirmed and entered upon his 
duties November 29, 1867. The erection of Department buildings, 
laying out of grounds, and all the improvements tending to the accom- 
modation and^inward'and outward thrift of the Departmen , and the 
increased scope of usefulness given to its operations m behalf of is 
great and peculiar interests, characterized his administration. xen 
Capron was by education, long experience, and that genuine na.ural 
inclination which manifests itself con amove, peculiarly fitted t.. pu - 
side over the interests of such a Department.^ If there was any fa - 
ure during his administration to meet the just requirements of the 



67 

agricultural interest, a knowledge of the comparatively and really 
meagre appropriations placed at his command^ and never in any case 
exceeded in his expenditures, will suggest a sufficient reason. 

On the 27th of June, 1871, Commissioner Capron tendered his 
resignation, to take effect August 1, and tlie President thereupon 
appointed the Hon. Frederick Watts in his stead. Judge Watts is a 
native of Carlisle, and was educated at Dickinson College, where he 
was graduated at the age of nineteen. Immediately after his gradu- 
ation he went to Erie county, Pennsylvania, and there lived three 
years with an uncle^ working daily on his farm. It was while resid- 
ing with this uncle that the taste for farm life, which has character- 
ized his whole career, was fully formed, and a practical knowledge of 
its essential requirements thoroughly learned. Returning to Carlisle, 
he studied law with Andrew Carothers, and was admitted to the bar. 
He piactised his profession until 1848, when he was commissioned by 
Governor William F. Johnston as president judge of the ninth judi- 
cial district of Pennsylvania, composed of the counties of Cumberland, 
Perry, and Juniata. This office he held for three years, when, it 
having been made elective, and tlie district being under the control 
of the political party with which he was not in sympathy, he retired 
from the bench and returned to the bar. He did not, however, actively 
engage in his profession, a large portion of his time being devoted to 
the personal superintendence of a farm near Carlisle. For many years 
he had been a farmer as well as a lawyer, and had become known as 
one who believed in the application of science to the tilling of the soil. 
In 1858 he abandoned entirely the practice of law, and since then has 
been exclusively a farmer. During the last few years he has resided 
on his farm, giving to all the details of its management his personal 
attention. He is also the owner of another farm, which he manages 
through a tenant. 

Judge Watts' prominence as a farmer led to his election, in 1856, 
as the first president of the Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, which 
office he held until 1862, when he declined a re-election. He was 
elected the first president of the board of trustees of the Agricultural 
College of Pennsylvania, a position which he still holds. He has 
never been prominent as a politician, although entertaining at all 
times positive views of public policy, and has never been a candidate 
for either congressional or legislative honors. He was not an appli- 
cant for the distinguished position to which he has just been appointed, 
and its duties and responsibilities have been accepted with reluctance. 

Judge Watts is a practical and scientific farmer. He has devoted 
his life to the practice of progressive methods of diversified agricul- 
ture, and has always manifested a deep interest and genuine enthu- 
siasm in the advancement of the farmer's calling. In his new office 
he may be expected to give to all the agricultural interests of the 
country tlie same intelligent and industrious attention he has bestowed 
upon the varied operations of his own farm and the agriculture of 
Pennsylvania. 

The efforts of the Department are now directed to obtaining and 
publishing reports of the condition and prospects of crops, to the 
analysis of soils, &c.; to ascertaining the meteorology or climatic 
peculiarities of all sections of the country ; to the introduction of use- 



68 

fill plants, including medical, and fruits of other countries^ and the 
development of some of our wild fruits and plants ; to the investiga- 
tion of fibre plant, grasses, cereals, and root crops most serviceable or 
best adapted to each section ; to affording information, so far as possi- 
ble, in response to inquiries upon all subjects coming within its scope ; 
and in fact to a general fostering and practical encouiagement of the 
grand interest it represents. 

It has taken its true place in relation to agriculture, and the appro- 
priations to second and carry out its designs^, it is to be hoped and 
expected, will be sufficient to give vigor to its efforts in behalf of an 
interest, not sectional nor partial, but national and universal— one 
from which wealtli and i)rosp''rity are primarily derived — the interests 
of agricultural industry. 

The cordial co-operation of scientific agriculturists and agricultural 
societies throughout the country would tend greatly to strengthen and 
aid the Department in its important labors, and is undoubtedly desired 
by its chief officer. 

The library of the Department now contains about 8,000 volumes, 
/■and is the fullest in its specialty of agriculture, and its allied sciences 
of botany, entomology, geology, pomology, &c., of any in the coun- 
try. Besides all the standard works on these subjects, it comprises 
nearly complete sets of the reports of the boards of agriculture in the 
different States, all the leading agricultural periodicals in this country 
and Europe, and the transactions of numerous scientific societies in 
England, Germany, France, and Italy, with which the Department 
is in constant communication. 

UNITED STATES TREASURY. 

This beautiful edifice is built of granite, and is 457 feet in length, 
with a colonnade 300 feet long, containing 42 marble columns. The 
beautiful fountain recently erected at the north front is a very fine 
specimen of art^ and adds greatly to the beauty of the building. 
The grounds in rear of the Treasury are being beautified, and when 
finished will undoubtedly attract much attention among pleasure s.eek- 
crs. In this building is transacted all the great financial schemes of 
the Government. The United States vaults, and also the printing 
department, are in this building, and located several feet under ground, 
while the upper stories are occupied b}^ the several bureaus, together 
with the clerks, both male and female, amounting to upward of 3,000. 
Visitors are admitted between the hours of 9 A. M. and 2 P. M. every 
day except Sunday. 

Formerly the United States Treasury was in a brick building on 
Fifteenth street^ but having been destroyed by fire in 1833, the Gov-v 
ernment erected on nearly the same site tlie present elaboi'ate struc- 
ture. 

The next object of interest on this great promenade is 

THE PRESIDENT'S MANSION. 

This building is built of white freestone, and is 170 feet front and 
SC) feet deep. It is situated at the intersection of Pennsylvania, New 
York, and Connecticut avenues. The entrance opens into a large hall 



09 

40 by 50 feet. The door in the centre leads into a reception-room 
handsomely furnished in crimson. The East Room, situated in the 
east end of the Mansion, is 84 feet. It is here that the President 
receives the j)eople upon public occasions. There are many other 
apartments in the building, all of which are magnificently furnished, 
and in a manner becoming the residence of the Chief of a great 
Republic. The designer was James Hoban, Esq., under whose direc- 
tion the edifice was rebuilt, after being destroyed by the British in 
1814. 

Adjoining the President's Grounds are the War and Navy Depart- 
ments of the United States Government. The former contains the 
archives and trophies of the Army, and is occupied by the Secretary 
of War and the various officers of his Department. The building is 
built after the modern style, and is wholly of brick. The Navy 
Department, immediately north of the War Department^ and front- 
ing on Seventeenth street, is also a brick building, and is occupied by 
the Secretary of the Navy, heads of bureaus, and clerks of the Depart- 
ment. Portraits of naval heroes^ fla,gs, and medals won by our gal- 
lant Navy are here preserved, and are to be seen by visitors during 
office hours. The other departmental buildings are located in differ- 
ent portions of the city, occupying generally the most elevated loca- 
tions. 

THE PATENT OFFICE. 

This magnificent building, located on two squares, fronting south on 
F street, north on G street, east on Seventh street, and west on Ninth 
street, is perhaps one of the finest specimens of architectural work in 
the Union. It is plain, but grand ; huge, but symmetrical. It is 
built of white marble, and is 410 feet in length by 275 feet in width. 
The style of architecture is Doric, with porticoes on the north, south, 
east, and west fronts. 

The interior is marked by the same peculiarities of plainness and 
grandeur that characterize the outside. The basement story is divided 
into offices, while the upper story forms a grand quadrangular apart- 
ment, tastefully and conveniently fitted up for the exhibition of models 
of patents and many curious and ingenious contrivances of mechanical 
skill. The Patent Office was destroj^ed by fire December 15, 1836, at 
which time all the records and models were lost. The present edifice, 
however, far surpasses the former, and, being fire-proof, is secure from 
a like catastrophe. The Bureau of Pensions, the Census Bureau, the 
Land Office, and the Department of the Interior, now occupy apart- 
ments in this building ; but having been built expressly for the Patent 
Office, all other departments and bureaus will in time be removed to 
other premises. 

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. 

This building, situated on the square bounded on the north by F 
street, on the east by Seventh street, on the south by E street, and on 
the west by Eighth street, is one of the most elaborately decorated 
buildings in Washington. It is built of white marble, after the Co- 
rinthian style. The first story is ornamented with rustic work, over 
which rise columns and pilastars, extending up two stories, with a

MUNN & CO., Publishers of the Scientific American, 

have been engaged in the business of Soliciting Patents for more 
than TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, and have the most extensive facilities 
for transacting such business of any concern in the world. More 
than 50,000 Inventors have availed themselves of their services 
in procuring patents, and many millions of dollars have accrued 
to the patentees, whose specifications and claims they have pre- 
pared. For the past ten years the cases filed in the Patent Office 
by them are about one-third of the entire number>f applications 
filed Their corps of specification writers and counsellors are 
made up from the ranks of the Patent Office, and are men capable 
of rendering the best service to the inventor from>e experience 
practically obtained while Examiners in the Patent Office. They 
make searches and give opinions as to the novelty and patentability 
of inventions or the scope or validity of patents, prepare and file 
caveats, prepare and prosecute applications for patents, re-issues, 
and extensions, prepare and attend to the registry of trade marks 
and copy rights, prepare and record agreements, assignments, powers 
of attorney, conduct interferences and appeals. They also prose- 
cute rejected applications which have been improperly prepared 
by the inventor or incompetent attorneys. Good inventions are 
often rejected for no other reason than that the^cases were not 
properly presented to the office. 

Inventors will find it to their interest to consult them about 
matters relating to patents, and they can do so either in person at 
their office in this city, or in New York or by letter. In all cases 
they may expect an honest opinion. For such consultations, 
opinions, and advice, no charge is made. All business committed 
to their care and all consultations are kept secret and strictly con- 
fidential Pamphlets containing laws and instructions how to ob- 
tain patents sent free on application; also,>amphlets giving cost 
of obtaining patents in all foreign countries. Munn & Co. have 
solicited a larger number of European Patents than any other 
agency, and they have agents located in London, Paris, Brussels, 
Berlin, and other chief cities of Europe.

panelei] cornice. The main entrance is on E street, b}' a flight of gran- 
ite steps leading to a vestibule ; to the right and left of this vestibule 
are spacious corridors leading to the different apartments in the build- 
ing. The Postmaster General, together with his assistants and their 
clei'ks, occupy the whole building, with the exce})tion of a portion of 
the first story, which is now occupied and used as the city post office, 
the entrance to which is on F street^ opposite tlie Patent Office. 

There is a little incident (related to the writer by one of the oldest 
inliabitants) connected with the survey of the ground on which the 
Post Office now stands which may be of interest to the reader. After 
the present site had been determined upon, the Government surveyor 
and his assistants proceeded to the spot and commenced driving down 
stakes to designate the exact position of the building. After laboring 
hard all day they returned to their abodes, but on arriving on the 
ground the next morning they found all the stakes pulled up, and an 
old lady standing in a threatening attitude in the centre of the lot, 
and who, upon tlieir approach, declared in most positive words that 
the work should not go on. 

Paying no heed to this remonstrance, the men proceeded to I'epa'r 
the damage, but as fast as they would drive down a stake, the old lady, 
with heroic fortitude, would pull it up, and finally, seeing their deter- 
mination to destroy her property, as she declared, this female cham- 
pion of landlords' rights seized a club and drove the desecrators of her 
home away from the scene. 

Andrew Jackson, then President of the United States, hearing of 
the difficulty, repaired to the scene of action, and was immediately 
approached by the female warrior and warned off the premises. The 
old General tried threats, but they were unheeded, and finally, after 
a great deal of coaxing, and the promise to build her a house to live 
in the balance of her days, the old lady surrendered. The President 
in after yeans often told the story, and claimed it as one of his great- 
est victories. 

THE STATE DEPARTMENT. 

The building occupied by this Department of the General Govern- 
ment is situated on the corner of Fourteenth and S streets N. W. It 
is built of brick, and was originally intended for an orphan asylum^ 
but is leased by the Government for a term of years, and until the 
new State Department building is finished. The site of the new 
State Department now building is on Seventeenth street, west of the 
President's Mansion and adjoining the War and Navy Departments. 
It is to be built of granite quarried near Eichmond, Va., and when 
completed will be one of the finest structures in Washington. 

THE NATIONAL OBSERVATORY 

is situated on the corner of E street north and Twenty-fourth street west. 
The site is a beautiful one, and commands a fine view of Georgetown 
and the surrounding country. The Potomac river, one of the most 
majestic streams in the world, flows by, and like a huge serpent 
rambles silently on as far as the eye can reach, until lost below the 
horizon. The reputation of this institution is world-wide^ and, al- 
though only established in 1842, it is said that there are none superior 
to it.

THE XAVV-VARP. 

The Navy-yard of Washington, occupying an area of twenty-eight 
acres, is situated on the Eastern Brancli, about one mile southeast from 
the Capitol. It includes an armory, foundry, a laboratory for prepar- 
ing ordnance stores, and, in lact, all the conveniences for ship-build- 
ing, &c. Among the vessels built here in former days may be men- 
tioned the Wasp, the Essex, the Brcmdyivine, and Columbia. During 
our late war many iron-clad vessels were built and rigged at this yard, 
some of which are at present stored away within the spacious docks, 
relics of the nation's skill, old friends whose services are no longer 
required, and, like old friends, are being too nearly forgotten. Why 
is it that our Government in time of peace pays so little regard to the 
necessity of keeping their navy-yards in good order? Not only is the 
Washington yard neglected, (the entrance to which is a disgrace to 
the nation,) but nearly all the others are suiFering in like manner. 
The yard at Portsmouth, Virginia, particularly, is more like a truck- 
dealer's yard than anything else we can compare it to. England, Rus- 
sia, and Prussia have, by wise and liberal management and by judicious 
legislation, finally succeeded in so improving their facilities for ship- 
building that they now possess the finest navies, as well as the most com- 
plete navy-yards, in the world. The United States, notwithstanding the 
terrible lesson taught her in 1861, still permits her splendid facilities 
to lay idle, and her reputation for shipbuilding to become a thing of 
the past. 

THE WASHINGTON ARSENAL. 

The Arsenal occupies a tract of land on the extreme end of Green- 
leaf Point, and commands a fine view up and down the Potomac 
river. The principal buildings are the repository for the storage of 
arms, the officers' quarters, and the commandant's residence. The 
grounds are very tastefully laid out, and are properly cared for. 
Along the water front are fine rows of shade trees and gravel walks, 
and at intervals large pyramids of cannon balls loom up and indicate 
at once the character of the institution. 

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT. 

The National Monument to Washington, an offering of love and 
reverence from a grateful people to " The Fathei- and Defender of his 
Country," is situated on what is called the Mall, south of the Presi- 
dential Mansion. The corner-stone of this grand piece of architecture 
was laid July 4, 1848. As this is intended as a tribute from the peo- 
ple of the United States, as well as all others throughout the world 
who desire to honor the great hero and statesman, only contributions 
from such sources would be received toward it. 

Through the energy and perseverance of George Watterston, Esq., 
and others, the project was pushed forward until it reached it present 
altitude of 150 feet. The plan and scheme are grand, and it is hoped 
that the American people will soon exert themselves to raise tlie 
necessary funds to complete it. The honor is due the immortal hero. 
Besides, it is a duty that ought not to be neglected. 

The obelisk or base on which the Monument rests is 81 feet square, 
and the whole structure^ when completed, is to be GOO feet high. The 



74 

base is a temple 250 feet in diameter and 100 feet high. Surmounting 
the portico of tlie entrance is to be a colossal statue of Washington, 
30 feet high. The figure will be represented in a chariot drawn by 
horses driven by Victory. A magnificent terrace crowning this pan- 
theon will be opened at the four cardinal points, and each surmounted 
with a circular temple embellished with symbols of Immortality. 

Trenton, Brandywine, and other scenes of the Revolution are repre- 
sented on tablets of sculpture on each face of the main shaft. 

Around this pantheon is a colonnade, the columns of which are sur- 
mounted by an entablature 20 feet high, containing the coat of arms 
of every State in the Union. Over this is a balustrade, forming a 
colonnade surrounding the terrace. 

The stairway in front of the portico is to be embellished with the 
statues of the great herofS of 1776. Ascending the stone steps, we 
reach a gallery which leads to a series of cabinets, one for each State, 
in which are to be deposited the names of the contributors ; also, the 
records regarding the Monument. 

There will also be in the grand base a number of apartments curi- 
ously and ingeniously constructed, and wliich will be in itself a won- 
derful subterranean apartment, as difficult of exploring as the wildest 
forests. This grand structure will be, when completed, a fit monu- 
ment for the gifted son of America, and one that will reflect honor 
upon the nation. Why, then, is it not completed ? Why, when the 
crowned heads of Christendom have contributed their offering to this 
emblem of a nation's love, do not the American people come forward 
and complete the work? Let us hope the day is not far distant when 
they will ; and when that day does come, let every American heart 
rejoice in possessing the grandest monument upon earth, and in the 
satisfaction of having done their duty. 

HOWARD UNIVERSITY. 

This institution was organized under an act of Congress, and is 
intended to be a university of the highest gi ade. Although in the 
act of incorporation there is no mention made of either race or color, 
yet it is understood to be designed especially for colored people. The 
buildings are located on Seventh street, and are situated in the midst 
of beautiful grounds, and is easy of access by railway from all parts 
of the city. Although only recently established, the institution is 
gaining an enviable reputation throughout the country. 

THE MEDICAL MUSEUM, 

is situated on Tenth street, between E and F streets. Here are collected 
all casts of surgery taken from actual operations performed during the 
late war, both on the field and in hospital ; also, many rare curiosities 
of more than ordinary interest to the student of medicine. The build- 
ing in which the Museum is located was formerly known as Ford's 
Theatre, and was purchased by the United States Government soon 
after the assassination of President Lincoln, Avhich occurred at this 
place A_pril 14, 1865. 

While the President was in the |)rivate box of a Washington theatre, 
John Wilkes Booth entered unobserved and shot him in the head, then

leaped down u])on the stage, fell, and fractured his leg, but was up in 
an instant, and, brandishing a dagger, shouted the motto of Virgin a, 
'■'' Sic semper tt/rannis." He made his escape to the rear, and van- 
ished. 

About the same hour, Secretary Seward, who was laying in bed from 
a broken arm, was attacked by an assassin, who inflicted several stabs 
upon him, which have not proved fatal, and nearly killed his son Fred- 
erick and attendants, who tried to defend him ; he also made his 
escape. 

It now seems thei'e was a plot to assassinate the wliole Cabinet and 
Lieutenant General U. S. Grant. On Wednesday morning, April 26, 
Booth, with an accomplice, named Harold, was discovered in a barn 
near Port Koyal, on the Rappahannock, and refusing to surrender, the 
barn was fired ; his companion then gave himself up, and Booth was 
shot in the head. He lingered in such great agony as to beg his cap- 
tors to kill him. He died in three or four hours afterward. 

President Lincoln never spoke after receiving the cruel shot, and 
died on the following morning, at twenty-two minutes after seven, his 
face assuming a placid look, as if guing into a sweet sleep. Thus passed 
away the good, kind, honest Abraham Lincoln, not by the natural 
course of disease, or in the accepted peril of war, but by the foul shot 
of an assassin, just when his efforts Avere being crowned with success in 
])utting down the most gigantic rebellion the world ever witnessed. 
He made an idol of his country, and died a martyr for his integrity. 
For four years " a merciful Providence preserved him to the nation, to 
defend its principles, to guide its councils, and to lead it out from the 
bloody depths of a terrible war into the bright sunlight of a blessed 
])eace. But in this first moment of higli hope, when the dark cloud 
of war was breaking ; when Peace was spreading her wings over the 
land ; when all was buoyant with gladness ; when the great heart of 
our murdered Chief was palidtating with joy at the fast coming time 
when bloodshed and slaughter should cease, and while seeking to know 
how he could best temper Mercy witli Justice in dealing with those 
who, by their crimes, had draped the land in mourning, in this hour 
of security and repose he was cruelly and brutally murdered." 

On the 19th of April, 1775, this nation was born in blood on the 
battle-field of Lexington. On the same day, ISBl, it was new born 
in the streets of Baltimore, by Massachusetts troops. On the same 
day, 18G5, there was weeping and mourning throughout the land, and 
solemn public prayers were held, for Abraham Lincoln had gone 
through the gate of blood io join the noble army of our country's 
martyrs who had gone before him. May 4 his remains were interred 
in Springfield, Illinois. " Men die, but principles live forever." 

On Wednesday, July 5, sentence was passed by the Military Court 
upon the conspirators connected with the murder of President Lincoln, 
and Avas approved the same day by President Johnson, to be carrie 1 
into eifect on the 7th. The sentence was that Mrs. M. E. Surratt, 
David E. Harold, George A. xVtzerodt, and Lewis Payne, (whose real 
name was Lewis T. Powell, and the one who attacked Secretary Sew- 
ard,) should be hanged ; and Michael O'Laughlin, Samuel Arnold, 
and Dr. Mudd, imprisoned for lif« ; and Edward Spangler to be con- 
fined for six years. The execution oi" the sentence was one of the 



78 

most summary on record ; it was made known to the prisoners on the 
6th, and at half-past one the next day their spirits fled to that undis- 
covered country " from whose bourne no traveller returns. ^ 

The following items will give some idea of the immense labor whica 
devolved upon the court-martial : 

Total number of witnesses subpoenaed, 463 ; number ot witnesses 
examined, 361 ; number examined, including recalls, 422 ; number 
subpoenaed ior prosecution, 247; number actually examined, 198 ; 
number subpcenaed for defence, 236 ; number actually examined, 163 ; 
total number of pages of testimony, (legal cap,) 4,300, making a solid . 
pile of manuscript somewhat over twenty-six inches high ; the argu- 
ments will make, in addition, 700. The vast masses of depositions 
taken by three Judge Advocates, prior to tho opening of the case, em- , 
ployed five short-hand writers a fortnight, and will take two ex^-.e- 
rienced clerks six weeks to brief and file away. ^ 

CITY HALL. I 

The building is situated at the junction of Louisiana avenue and D ] 
and Four-and-a-half streets. The structure is 200 feet long, shaped 
like two wings connected by a spacious vestibule, approached by flights : 
of granite steps. The rooms in the interior are now used by the caty 
courts, the local government offices having been removed to the Co- 
lumbia building, on Four-and-a-half street, between Pennsylvania 
avenue and C street. The legislative body occupies the second and ■ 
tliird stories of Metzerott's building, on Pennsylvania avenue, between 
Ninth and Tenth streets. 

CORCORAN ART GALLERY. 

This beautiful structure is situated on the northwest corner of Penn- 
sylvania avenue and Seventeenth street. It is built of brick, orna- 
mented with brown-stone pilasters. The interior is elaborately em- 
bellished with frescoe and Italian marble. The lofty ceilings, hung 
with magnificent chandeliers, lend an additional charm to the taste 
and skill of the architect and artist. This palatial establishment is,a 
gift from William W. Corcoran, Esq., to Washington city, to be de- 
voted to art. A collection of very fine paintings and statuary will soon 
be placed here, which will make it an object of manifold interest to 

visitors. 

OUR CEMETERIES. 

And now, kind stranger, after following us in our ramblings, and 
after having listened to us in our brief sketch of the monuments and 
marble palaces, permit us to lead you quietly to other scenes, and par- 
don us if we dwell too long among the honored graves of dear, departed 
friends, or by the marble obelisk of our lost heroes. 

With all their gayety and ostentation, our people love to cherish 
the memory of these loved ones and adorn their resting place with 
starry-eyed violets, snow-drops, amaranths, weeping foliaged trees, and 
blooming roses, for 

" How sweel to lav our precious dfitil 
In such a spot to sleep, 
W here waving- trees their branches sjiread, 

And stars their vigils keep ; 
Looking from Heaven with angel eyes 
To guard the sacred dust we prize." 



79 

Among the living the^e is a dread to meet the victorious enemy 
of mankind, and yet the remains of the departed rest in his embrace 
in a deep sleep that knows no waking save when that auspicious hour 
arrives to summon the departed souls to resume again the form of their 
Maker. " 

The adornments of the graves are impressive admonitions to the 
living to prepare for another and a better world. It is indeed com- 
forting to the heedless living to know that the hand of some loved 
one will beautify and adorn their last resting place. In the unbroken 
stillness of a lone cliurch-yard, where lie all that remains of the cher- 
ished friends of our youth, where the white tombstone marks the form 
of a sainted mother, a kind father, dear brothers, sisters, and all that 
once made earth happy, the mind in solemn contemplation reviews the 
scenes of other days. The awful majesty of God wells up before the 
stricken heart of man, and points to his insignificance, yet with mer- 
ciful kindness warns him from " the wrath to come." 

Herculaneum and Pompeii are but types of our own burial places. 
The flames of the burning Mount brought with them the dread mes- 
senger. Death, and summoned, without warning, the just and the un- 
just to turn from nature unto nature's God. 

Should these departed ones be forgotten? Ah, no. The sun of' 
heaven should not be made to smile on decayed and uncared-for graves, 
but on a lovely garden, garnished with beautiful flowers, tended by 
loving hands, and guarded by innocent birds, whose songs would be 
praises unto Heaven for the blessings in this life, and prayers for mer- 
cies in that to come. Our constant visits to these sacred spots, the 
mournful grandeur of the memorial stone, together with the engraved 
epitaphs, are all typical evidences of an established faith in immor- 
tality, and a happy union beyond the grave. Though it may create 
a feeling of sadness for a while, yet we would ask you to go there, 
dear stranger ; go there^ and then you will be better able to judge us, 
and will perhaps understand us, and appreciate us far better than by 
our follies and extravagance in show.

MOUNT VERNON, 

the home and burial place of Washington, is sacred to every loyal 
American. It is beautifully located on the Potomac river, fifteen 
miles from the national caj)ital, and from its commanding position over- 
looks a beautiful valley. The old homestead still stands, and in its 
plainness indicates the simplicity of taste of its illustrious owner. The 
tomb containing the remains of George Washington is situated but a 
short distance from the house, in a retired spot, over which stands sen- 
tinel a group of willow trees, faithful guardians of the sacred dust, 
who, by their solemn visage, seem to await with anxious solicitude 
the last summons that will call on death to surrender up its victory. 
Through the patriotism and devotion of a society of ladies, aided by 
the exertions and literary labors of Hon. Edward Everett, the property 
was purchased from the late proprietors for $200,000, and now the 
sacred domain is under the protection and faithful charge of "The 
Ladies' Mount Vernon Association. ' ' Visitors and strangers can reach 
it by way of Washington every day, the steamer leaving her dock, foo 
of Seventh street, daily.

cents per one-half ounce. 

Prepayment by stamps required on all letters to places within the 
United States. 

Full prepayment by stamps required on all transient printed matter^ 
foreign and domestic. 

All letters not prepaid by stamps, all such as are received in the 
office with stamps cut from stamped envelopes, or with such postage 
stamps as were in use prior to 1861, or with revenue stamps on them, 
are treated as " unmailable " and sent to the Dead-Letter Office. 

Letters for Georgetown, D. C, require 3 cents for each one-half ounce. 

Letters which have not been delivered can be forwarded, without 
additional charge, upon a written request. 

Letters once delivered from a post office cannot be remailed without 
prepayment of a new postage. 

Quarterly rates of postage cannot be received for a less time than 
one quarter. 



105 

When the subscription to a newspaper, periodical, or magazine 
commences at any other time than the beginning of a postal quarter, 
the payment must be made to the end of the next following quarter. 

Parties claiming to have paid postage in advance to the late post- 
master must produce a receipt or other satisfactory evidence that the 
postage has been paid as claime;,!. 

Potatoes, apples, peaches and other fruit are not mailable matter, 
and should be excluded from the mails. 

Winter-green leaves, sage leaves, and herbs for medicinal purposes, 
are subject to letter rates of postage. 

Any printed matter so marked or written upon as to convey any 
other or further information than is conveyed by the original print is 
subject to letter rates of postage.

All letters to be mailed must be plainly addressed, and the name of 
the Post Office, State, and County clearly written. Care in this re- 
spect will insure the prompt delivery of all letters, while a defective 
address carries them invariably to the Dead-Letter Office.

orders.

ounces and not over 12 ounces, 6 cents ; over 12 ounces and not over 16 
ounces, 8 cents. The weight of packages of seeds, cuttings, roots, 
and scions is limited to 32 ounces. 

FREE DELIVERY. 

The deliveries of letters and other mailable matter by carriers, in 
the central and business sections of the city, are made as follows : 
8.30 and 11 o'clock A. M.; 2 and 4.15 o'clock P. M. In the outside 
districts deliveries are made at 8.30 A. M. and 2 o'clock P. M. 

Collections from the street boxes are made at the same time of the 
delivery in each section. Collections are also at 6.30 P. M. for the 
evening mails. 

Parties now renting boxes, or receiving their mail matter through 
the General Delivery, can receive their mail at their residences or 



107 

places of business, regularly and without risk, by the Carrier System 
of Free Delivery, by giving orders to the carrier of their district, or 
to the Superintendent at Post Office. 

The advantages of a free delivery system cannot be too highly esti- 
mated. It is more regular, more secure, and more convenient than 
the box system. 

If the business community could be induced to cease sending hoys 
to the Post Office for their mail matter, and accept the means provided 
by the Department for a safe delivery through responsible carriers, a 
great evil would be corrected, and many losses (now occurring) pre- 
vented. 

Carriers are required to collect all arrears of postage upon delivery 
of matter, the law being imperative in this respect. 

The Postmaster General recommends that safe and convenient boxes 
for the receipt of mail be provided at private residences and business 
offices. 

It is only necessary that a letter should be plainly and accurately 
addressed to insure its prompt delivery, and in making such address, 
writers should, in addition to the number and street, be careful to add 
the quarter of the city, as N. W., S. W., N. E., or S. E., as the case 
may be. 

It is believed that the carriers will, in all cases, be prompt and faith- 
ful in the discharge of their duties, in which they can be greatly aided 
by the public, by providing receptacles for the mail, as above sug- 
gested, or by promptly answering the call of carriers at their doors. 

Any neglect on the part of carriers should be at once reported to 
the office, that it may be corrected. 

ENVELOPES. 

No additional charge will be made for printing the name and ad- 
dress, with request to return to writer, on any of the envelopes fur- 
nished by the Post Office Department, (samples of which may be seen 
at the Stamp window,) when ordered in lots of not less than 500. 
The occupation of writer will not be printed. 

A request for the return of a letter to the writer, if unclaimed within 
thirty days, or less, written or printed, with the writer's name, post 
office, and State on the upper left hand corner of the envelope, on the 
face side, will be complied with. 

The public are earnestly recommended to procure stamped envel- 
opes, with printed return request, as the expense is less, and letters 
thus endorsed, if not delivered to the person addressed, are returned 
to the writer free of charge. Stamped envelopes spoiled in directing 
are redeemed at this office. 

DO NOT DETAIN YOUR CARRIER. 

It would prove a great assistance to the carrier system if persons 
would avoid detaining their carrier in collecting his postage, or keep- 
ing him waiting at the doors of private residences ; for the carrier, 
while waiting only a few minutes, would be able to serve nearly a 
whole square. 

Delays can be obviated by procuring a letter-box, to be placed on 
the door, or in the entry of one's residence. (A specimen box can be 
seen by calling upon the Superintendent of Carriers.) The Post- 
master General recommends the use of these boxes for safety.

59 and G3 AVater Street, Greora^etown, T). C. 



G E o K G 1^: T o w :n , 

the second city in size in the District of Columbia, is beautifully 
situated on the east side of the Potomac and separated from the na- 
tional capital by Rock creek, and is distant about three miles west 
from the Capitol. It was originally laid out in 1*751, at which 
time it belonged to the State of Mary kind, and was incorporated a town 
in 1*789; Robert Peter, Esq., being the first Mayor. Under the pro- 
vision of the act of Congress entitled "An act to provide a government 
for tlie District of Columbia/' approved February 21, 18T1, George- 
town, like all other portions of the District of Columbia, lost her in- 
dividuality as a being corporate and became a part and parcel of the 
" New Territorial Government." The city is noted for its fine schools 
and academies, foremost among which we may mention Georgetown 
College, situated on the Heights^ immediately north of the city, com- 
manding a fine view of the Potomac liver and the surrounding coun- 
try. The position of Georgetown is remarkably salubrious. It is 
handsomely situated on a succession of hills, so that its streets are 
thoroughly cleansed of every impurity on the occasion of any con- 
siderable rain that falls. The trade of the city consists of lumber, 
coal, tobacco, flour, soap, candles, &c., and although not very con- 
siderable at the present time, in former years she was a place of con- 
siderable importance. 

To give the reader an opportunity to judge of the energy and enter- 
})rise which characterized the early inhabitants of tliis interesting little 
city we append hereto a short sketch of her younger days, which has 
been kindly furnished us from the pen of one of her most eminent 
lawyers, a gentleman in every way fully capable of doing the subject 
justice : 

" Georgetown, situated at the confluence of Rock creek and the Po- 
tomac river, was laid out by an act of the legislature of Maryland in 
1751; and being situated upon a noble river soon became a place of 
trade and commerce with foreign countries. The planters and farmers 
brought their cmps here lor sale or shipment to a distant land. As 
high as 5,000 liogsheads of tobacco have been shipped in one year^ 
and not less than 300,000 barrels of flour have been inspected in the 
same length of time. Many of our citizens remember the ships Eagle 
and Shenandoah, which sailed regularly to Europe loaded with tobac- 
co, and brought in return cargoes of salt. In course of time our ships 
went the way of all ships by being stranded at sea, and our noble 
town felt the great loss of the vessels that were wont to unload at our 
wharves, amidst the shouts of the boatmen and the songs of the sailors. 
A number of enterprising citizens afterwards purchased four ships, 
named the Francis Bepau, Southerner, Caledonia^ and Catherine Jack- 
son. They made their appearance in our harbor in the summer and 
autumn of 1836, and after making several voyages Avero finally sold as 
being' too large for our commerce. 

" Our merchants then engaged in the coasting trade, having a num- 
ber of vessels sailing to Boston, Newburyport, New York^ and other 



158 

cities, carrying away large quantities ol" flour and produce brought 
down the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which extends into the interior 
of Maryland a distance of 184 miles. Others extended their com- 
merce to the West Indies, and we had large quantities of sugar and 
productions of tlie Indies brought in every few months, and sold upon 
the wharves at ])ublic sale. In course of time the sailing pack-ets 
passed away, and we have in their place steamers plying between our 
town, Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, and Norfolk, which al- 
ways arrive heavily loaded witli freight, and carry away in return 
cargoes of flour. The heaviest trade carried on at this time is in the 
article of coal. Thousands of boats arrive at our town by the canal 
from Cumberland, loaded with coal, which is shipped in vessels to 
distant ports, and is largely used by the ocean steamers and manufac- 
tui-ing establishments. Our river is frequently covered with vessels, 
Avith their forest of masts reaching toward the sky, awaiting their 
turn to be loaded, before sailing to a distant clime. 

" Our town is so located that the Potomac river has a fall of thirty- 
three feet within four miles from the Little Falls to the canal basin, 
and the canal flowing through the town having the same fall to the 
river, renders its banks desirable for milling purposes. The conse- 
(}uence is, we have a number of merchant mills in our town, located 
on the canal and propelled by water power. The first is the mill of 
D. L. Shoemaker ; the second, William H. Tenney & Sons ; third, 
Mark Young ; fourth, James S. Welsh ; fifth, George Shoemaker ; 
sixth, Ross Ray & Brother ; seventh, George Hill's paper mill ; eighth, 
A. H. Herr, at the foot of the market. These mills will shell out 
from 150 to 300 barrels of flour per day. Besides these we have other 
mills in the neighborhood of the town, as the Lock Mills, on the canal, 
about two miles above the town, Lyon's Mills, and the Columbia Mills, 
located on Rock creek, all of which are supplied with grain brought 
down the canal, or by vessels from a distance. 

"Our town was chartered in 1789 by the legislature of Maryland. 
From that year to the 1st day of June, 1871, it never had but two 
clerks : the late John Mountz was clerk from the passaire of the char- 
ter until 1856, when he was superseded in office by William Laird, 
Esq., the present clerk and treasurer, now settling up the financial 
affairs of the town. Mr. Mountz became disqualified for the active 
duties of clerk by advanced age, and was still retained by our corpo- 
rate authorities as consulting clerk until 1st August, 1857, when he 
died^ at an advanced age, ' an honest man, the noblest work of God.' 
Mr. Laird, his successor, lias no superior as an accountant in this coun- 
try, being the son of an eminent merchant of our town, qualified by 
a liberal education and long service in the counting-room. He ful- 
filled the expectations of the people. Now our charter has passed 
away, and we have entered upon a municipal District government, the 
question is, shall we be benefited by the change ? Three corporations 
are now concentrated into one municipalitJ^ We are now with Wash- 
ington, one town, one city, and one people. If the new government 
is strangled in its infancy with too much ' pap,' we shall perish. Other- 
wise Ave shall float upon the tide of prosperity, and the genius of our 
commerce will spread her white wings over every sea, until we shall 
become renowned throusrhout the inhabitable globe.'' 



159 

The only other phices of any importance in the District of Columbia 
are Tennallytown, Brightwood, and Uniontown, the first two named 
being very small we will only briefly notice the latter. 

UNIONTOWN. 

This little village is beautifully situated on the Anacostia river, near 
its mouth, and opposite the United States Arsenal. Its location is very 
picturesque and desirable for private residences. Resting on the side 
of a sloping hill, commanding a lovely view of the city of Washing- 
ton, Uniontown appears like a Swiss village, and its neat white cot- 
tages present an air of liveliness and thrift. Many wealthy citizens 
have taken up their residence here, and have built beautiful rural 
homes on the summit of the hill overlooking the town. Its close prox- 
imity to the national capital affords its citizens ample market facilities 
and intercommunication with all parts of the country. The Wash- 
ington city passenger railway leaves the Navy-Yard, only a short 
walk from the bridge connecting Uniontown with the capital, every 
five minutes during the day for all parts of the city and Georgetown. 
The village contains a few small stores, churches, schools, &c. 

MOUNT PLEASANT.. 

Mount Pleasant is situated upon the elevated plateau northwest of 
Washington and about half a mile from Boundary street, the nominal 
limit of the city. It is approached by Fourteenth-street road, which 
forms the present eastern border of the village. Sixteenth-street road, 
which is about to be opened, will intersect the old Georgetown road at 
James Esslin's, and follow the route of that road through the western 
part of Mount Pleasant, passing the residences of S. P. Brown and 
Mrs. General Walbridge, to meet the Fourteenth-street road at Piney 
Branch. 

Being upon a high, sandy plain and remote from marshes, Mount 
Pleasant is, perhaps, the most healthy suburb of Washington, as is 
proved by its complete exemption from chills and fever and the au- 
tumnal fevers of malarious districts which frequently prevail in the 
city, particularly in some localities in the outskirts^ and during very 
dry or very wet and changeable seasons. 

Mount Pleasant was commenced in 1866 by opening Howard street 
and the erection thereon of five houses, Mr. B. P. Davis, the present 
superintendent of schools, being the leader in the movement. Each 
residence had a full acre of ground^ so situated as to be divided when 
desirable, the cost at that time being $650. At present, 1871, ground 
is worth from 5 to 10 cents per square foot, or from $2,000 to $4,000 
per acre, and rapidly rising in value. 

Excellent water is found by digging wells to the depth of thirty or 
forty feet, and the earth being sandy or alluvial, there is no difficulty 
in making driven wells simply by driving an iron tube, properly 
pointed, until water is reached, and then by attaching a pump at the 
top a full supply of underground spring water is obtained. 

Mount Pleasant has grown, and is now growing, very rapidly, and 
in connection with the improvements of College Hill and the Merid- 



160 

ian Hill properly, it will soon be continuous with the city of Washing- 
ton. A good school has been long established, and a large school 
house is now being erected for higher classes and a properly-graded 
school. Witli Columbian College on the border of Mount Pleasant, 
the opportunities for education are excellent. An omnibus is owned 
by those who do not keep their own carriages. It runs regularly to 
the Treasury and Patent Office, and three times a week it goes to Centre 
Market, and waits there to take home marketing ; and as soon as Four- 
teenth street is graded, the contract for which is already given out, 
the horse-railroad will be extended half a mile to Mount Pleasant. 

The residents of Mount Pleasant are very intelligent, and many of 
them highly educated^ and they sustain a literary and scientific so- 
ciety, in which both sexes and all ages participate. Also, they have 
an informal church, which ignores sectarianism, under the belief of 
Christian union and Christian works, and not creeds.
